A math professor at the University of North Texas (UNT) was allegedly fired over his criticism of the concept of “microaggression,” according to a First Amendment lawsuit filed Thursday.

Represented by the conservative legal group Alliance Defending Freedom (ADF), Nathaniel Hiers claims that the UNT violated his freedom of speech when he was removed from his position as a full-time math professor without notice in retaliation for criticizing flyers about “microaggressions.”
